I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again).
"The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties.

Oder kommt ein neues Sondervermögen? Fraglich, ob das klappen könnte. Linke, BSW und AfD würden es wahrscheinlich ablehnen.
Die fiskale Kapazität des deutschen Staates wird eine entscheidende Debatte der Koalitionsverhandlungen werden, wenn Deutschland agil werden möchte.

Option 4:
- Schwarz-Rot-Grün (FDP raus, BSW) drin
Da braucht es die Linke für eine Reform, aber nicht das BSW

New article accepted at CPS. @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I analyze how rental market risk affects radical right support. Combining data on local rent increases with the SOEP, we find that individuals facing increasing local rents become more likely to support the AfD. 🧵

Of course S&D & Renew failed at preventing ECR from getting (top) job in new European Commission. They have no clear strategy of how to oppose the far right and a completely outdated view of what and who constitutes the political “mainstream”.
